What Are They Digging For At Giza?

It appears as if digging works have been taking place right at the Apex point of the Great Giza Triangle I hypothesize in the Giza Centroid Theory
which you can read here.

Here are some images I have captured from time-lapse Google Earth that show this digging activity taking place at the location of the GGT Apex. What
is also interesting is that the digging at this location seems to have began shortly after I posted the GGT Apex point on the internet at GHMB Forum
and on my Forum here at ATS).

This image (below) shows the theorised GGT Apex point to the southwest of the Giza pyramids. This image was posted on the internet on March (ATS
Forum) and Dec 2008 (GHMB Forum).

Image 2:
This image (below) shows that in Feb 2009 there was NO digging at the GGT Apex location.

Image 3:
This image (below) shows that digging had started at this area around March 2009.

Image 4:
This image (below) shows that in June 2009, the entire area around the GGT Apex location is being dug up.

Image 5:
This image (below) shows bulldozers and dumper trucks digging up the area in June 2009.

Now this digging may well have been for fairly benign and innocent reasons but it is somewhat curious that it takes place in the very area of the GGT
Apex and that this digging commenced shortly after the GGT Apex (Centroid Theory) was posted on the Internet.

Would Dr Hawass (or whoever is presently in charge of Antiquities in Egypt) care to explain what is going on in this area that is so near to the Giza
pyramids?

Have been fascinated with Giza ever since I was a kid . And I've always been curious as to what might be hidden under all that sand . This looks
interesting . But whatever is found , what are the chances that we will be informed about it ?

One of the long-range plans of the Egyptian SCA (Supreme Council on Antiquities) is to build a large museum out at Giza to replace the building in
downtown Cairo which is too small and outmoded for the collection. The Grand Egyptian Museum, as it is called, is located right in the area you have
highlighted. So, yeah, I'm not surprised there is digging going on.

AM: Very interesting Scott,
I also enjoyed your other thread about your attempt to circumvent Hawass' wall.

SC: Thanks for that. I was so disappointed that I could not find a way in to that area. Incredible really when one considers that I was able to gain
access to the Sphinx enclosure which is strictly off-limits, even to card-carrying Egyptologists.

AM: Speaking of which, could this digging operation be the purpose of the wall? If I'm not mistaken the wall would encapsulate this entire area
being excavated right?

SC: Well, yes. That was my initial thought too - i.e. that the 'Wall' is not so much about penning people into the Gizamid enclosure as it is about
preventing access to this 'restricted area'. Remember, this area is patrolled with mounted armed police (on camel) and also guards in watchtowers
along parts of the wall.

I asked Dr Hawass the purpose of his wall to which he replied to me: "The wall is for the protection of our visitors."

RR: Have been fascinated with Giza ever since I was a kid . And I've always been curious as to what might be hidden under all that sand . This

SC: I guess that will depend on what, if anything, is found under the sands at this location. If any discovery here is 'controversial' in nature
then the likelihood is that it will be passed through the 'knowledge filter' to find its way into some dark, dusty dungeon somewhere. Is that
realism or cyncism? You decide!

RR: Also , I thought Hawaas resigned ?

SC: I think Hawass thought he'd resigned too! He's in, he's out, he's shakin' it all about. Last I heard he was 'in'. Probably be out again by
the time I finish my lunch.

iforget: You've got the new road with a new building at the end of it and then expansion of the site along the road.

SC: There is no new road here. What you seem to have identified as a road is, in fact, 'Zahi's Wall'. This was built to "protect guests of
Egypt" as Dr Hawass explained to me in an email. Curious though that the wall also serves to prevent access to this GGT Apex area that was majorly
excavated shortly after I made public the Giza Centroid Theory

The Catacombs of Anubis project, led by Paul Nicholson of the School of History, Archaeology and Religion, is examining a labyrinth of tunnels
beneath the desert at Saqqara in Egypt. The tunnels make up the catacomb for the burial of animals sacred to the dog or jackal-headed god Anubis.

SC: Saqqara is about 19 miles to the south of Giza (a long way away) so is not connected with this excavation work at the Giza plateau.
